In reply to Rob Greenwood - UKClimbing:
It's so hard to say with the men. And that's what makes it so exciting.
If there aren't too many hard crimp problems then Hojer or Webb. But Hojer is not so good on small holds. I'd like to see Gelmanov do well and he's really good with small holds. But then apparently Tyler is in good shape and McColl is a very consistent performer. So basically I have no clue.
For the women its a shame because Shauna is out on her own and a firm favourite. Too bad there weren't more international women competing. The fight for second place will perhaps be more interesting though: Michaela vs Melissa Le Neve or Tara Hayes??
Was at the Works yesterday and the new paint job on the comp wall looks ace.
